backfires for real

A wholly inadequate attempt to chronicle the music of the "Temptations" for the last 30 years. A "collection" of '70's, '80's and '90's "Tempts" songs, this package just recycles the vintage Tempt hits in yet another format. I'm a classic Tempts fan (Ruffin, Kendricks, Paul Williams, Melvin and Otis w/ Dennis later on), but I've listened to them over all these years. Where is "Lady Soul"? Where is "Soul to Soul"? Their '95 Richard Perry produced "For Lovers Only" is a great great album, why isn't anything ("Some Enchanted Evening", "At Last") from it included on this collection? Motown has chosen to keep going to the well over and over to get the same "water" again and again. To put it in this new container doesn't change it one bit. The best of this collection is from the classic "60's" period. The 25 years of music making since '75 is shamelessly shortchanged. The songs from '75-'00 may not be as popular as the classics, but this package purports to be about THAT PERIOD and they should be included in it. Ron Tyson, Ali Woodson, and company deserve better.

What's That Sound?

That awful scratching sound is the sound of Paul, David, Eddie, and Melvin rolling over. This is a disgrace to the memory of Motown's great artists. I realize that most of the members left the band by the time period covered by this CD. Nonetheless, if you do the math, you'll find Anthology or Ultimate Collection to be far more satisfying purchases. Like all other CDs in this wretched Millennium Collection series, this is a ...... of the artists and is deficient in terms of value and content.
